Mmm, delicious!

}}} If you're wondering where that music is coming from, scroll down, it's a player of recent discovery of mine. Feel free to let it roll, or stop it until you've read what I've got to say, below. {{{

Today, I decided that we should break the mold of how we've been operating, and rather then Vanessa coming home from work, tired (she works at 7:30am) I met her at the gym associated with her work, and we got in some exercise. Then we headed out to the South Yuba river, but not before going to Fudenjuice, a wee juice, and you guessed it, food place, that, in our first trip today, made a mouth puckering Lemon Lime Apple juice slushy ( there seems to be a fondness for healthy slushies here, rightly so in this hothot place!) and a most delicious, monstrous wrap thingee, with eggs, spinach, rice, and um I forget, I didn't order it, I was just a sampler of it. Oh and it had some zesty green dipping sauce. Ah, nice!

We then moseyed through the lushly tree lined windy little road to the South Yuba River. My second visit, Vanessa's first. You could see her spirits brighten, her eyes too, as we got down to the water. She pointed out some lovely fair sized fishies swimming in the water. They were green, and unafraid of humans, except those of the young and wiley variety, who would try to catch them with their hands.

We both made our way in, and eventually found both of us floating on our tummies, sandal clad feet floating behind us. Vanessa looked not unlike a flying superhero of some sort. She enthusiastically said she'd like to make this a regular occurrence. I'm so glad, she was feeling like all she was doing was working, and not enjoying our new environs. No longer. :-)

And now I find myself home, and yet again, Amie Street scores with a selection of music I can't do without. This time it's Vieux Farka Toure, who is the son of world famous Ali Farka Toure, the Malian musician. Apparently he'd wanted his son to be a soldier, but it couldn't be helped, Vieux had talent, which he's developed nicely. Here he remixes next generation Malian music, with electronic aspects, to great effect. I bought a heap of tunes, and liked them so much, I've added the music player here for you to check VFT out for yourself. My favorite tracks are 3, 5, 7 and 9, but please check them all out, as interests you...

Enjoy!
